| Raw & Grainfree feeders-what treat do you give?? Hey all..... Snickers has lost interest in his treat when he goes potty, he still is perfect with the training but sometimes does not want his treat after going. I want him to know how happy his perfect pottying makes us and am worried he might regress if he does not like his treat. Snickers is on a raw and grainfree kibble diet and I want all his treats to be grainfree as well. Fresh fruits and veggies make his eyes water and he is not crazy about them either. Right now we are using: -Wellness Pure Rewards Jerky (this is the 1 he is liking less and less) -Evo biscuits and Cloud Star carrot slices (dehydrated)-for Snacks -Bully Sticks during the day -Zukes Z ridge every now and then (these have whey in them-not grainfree) -Sam's Yam's sweet potato chews and blueberry/Spotato hard cookie (Berry Yammy) chews -Fresh fruit and veggies on occasion Any suggestions on a good reward treat? Anyone try LiveALittles freeze dried meat by Halo? I hear dog's go bonkers for them. Super expensive though!! My feed store has a generic Made in the USA version for less. Snick loves cheese, but he pee's about 5-7 times a day and that can add up to alot of cheese even if given in small amounts. Thanks....

| I don't know how big he is but we gave Franklin and Maggie cheese as a potty treat. We just gave a little piece about the size of the tip of my pinky. Even with 5-6 potty trips it was under half a slice each, maybe even close to a fourth of a slice. They never had any problems with it. They are bigger though..... around 9 and 11 lbs.

| try 100% dried chicken strips. They usually have them at most pet stores. Make sure its 100% chicken and no other additives. My dogs are also on a raw grain free diet and have also become very picky with their treats. The chicken breast are the only treats they will eat and go CRAZY over. My dogs also liked the halo treats but they were too small. The chicken breast seem to last longer. Hope this helps! Jenn |

| we use freeze dried salmon treats. We used to use Chicken strips until we found out one of my girls is allergic to chicken. But you have to be very careful with where you get the chicken strips though since most of them are made in China. You have to really read the fine prints. I only recommand one brand that is Kona Chips. the lady is a member here on YT also. Her chicken strips are Made by here in the US!

| Thanks gyals... YES, I am all about reading the fine print and NOTHING made in CHINA that Snick can ingest comes into my house!! I think I might try the freeze dried chicken or see if my feed store has any fillets made in the USA. I would like to try the Kona Chips, do you remember the sellers username/handle by chance?? I'll try searching it...

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Morgan LOVES the Halo liv-a-littles. I bought her the bison ones for her birthday. They are flaky so you can make really small pieces out of them. lately i've been breaking one up and giving it with her kibble which makes her scarf it right down.
